Guest guest Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 My mom developed IBS two years ago, after my dad died. She feels the first attack was triggered by taking Paxil. She doesn't have Graves' but does have other autoimmune problems including Sjogren's syndrome. She's had some help from a few remedies and tried many others without success. What has helped are taking an intestinal cleanser/fiber product like Metamucil (she's on one from the health food store); acupuncture and massage (the accupuncturist says older people in China rub their stomachs, counterclockwise, 100 times a day); and a small dose of Lorazipan (spelling?), which I believe is related to Valium and has a sedative effect on the stomach. She's tried to stop the Lorazipan but that's what seems to work best. Best wishes, B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
